		<description><![CDATA[Following Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s SEC filing last Friday, I received the ballot to vote on the splitting of Berkshire Hathaway Class B stock.
To me, it is an unfortunate sign because this would effectively invite every option trader to speculate on Berkshire Hathaway &#8212; and BRK will move away from being one of the few remaining investment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to post this for a while now.
Some time ago, the WSJ had an excellent interactive graphic that chronicled the timeline of credit crisis by stacking the 6 key financial indicators through these two years.

Today, UBS announced what they call &#8220;Maluses&#8221; where previously earned bonuses will be forfeited if they underperform.
